Youth SpeakUp, Idea Platform to Discuss Violence Against Women in Ghana with the hashtag #ysugh.

Image
Under Ghana’s constitution, both women and men have equal status under the law. Despite these constitutional and legal guarantees, women still play subservient roles to men. Under our customary systems, women are expected to give precedence to men in all things, with the men taking all decision affecting the family. This position of being the subservient partner has created a situation where Ghanaian women are equated to children. In addition, women are often considered to be the property of their fathers and husbands. This control by men over women has meant that many women have accepted the situation allows men to “punish” them for alleged disobedience. Youth Speak Up  is calling on change makers across the global to join the online chat with the hashtag  # ysugh .  The chat on will be on the topic ' Violence Against Women in Ghana , The Causes and Solutions.' Happening tomorrow Friday 25th August 2016 at 4:00pm.  Youth Speak Up Event  is to develop compete

Micronutrient deficiencies, especially iron deficiency anaemia, vitamin A deficiency and iodine deficiency disorders are also prevalent to a mild-moderate degree in the country, she said.
